He was a grain merchant[2] and served as reeve of Trafalgar Township as well as serving on the town council and as mayor of Oakville, Ontario.[1] Romain was born in Quebec City to parents Pere and Elizabeth Romain and was one of eight children in the family.[1] He became the first postmaster of Brampton where he was also a grain dealer.[1] He then moved to Oakville,[3] and in 1847 married Esther Ann Chisolm, the daughter of William Chisholm.[2] Romain purchased land from George King Chisholm for development but kept some lakefront property for his own home which he lost in 1869 due to bankruptcy.[2] His home eventually became the Lakehurst Sanitarium in 1895.[4] Romain served for two years as the reeve of Trafalgar Township, and then served on the Oakville town council. He was elected as mayor of Oakville from 1863 to 1865.[5] See also
